Cable‐Stayed Bridges: Degrees of Anchorng
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 1
Abstract
Cable‐stayed bridges and suspension bridges are classified by the degree of anchoring: (1) Cable‐stayed bridges, which are self, partially, and fully anchored; and (2) suspension bridges, which are self and fully anchored. The bridges have been modelled in a simple fashion. With this modelling, equations for the cost of the cables and of the horizontal structural steel have been developed. A comparison is made of the structural efficiency of the different kinds of bridges. The effects of the selfweight, of the different mechanical properties, and cost of the different materials employed in the bridges are included. Partially anchored fan‐type cable‐stayed bridges are found to be the most efficient for spans up to 6,000 ft (1,846 m).
